What would you like us to do with this information? We should be more critical to the board and the recruitment. It's signings like this that will see us relegated. Watkins was a great, great start moving into the right direction. And if we can land Rashica, that would be outstanding. But there is no point with this guy.

The first bit is very true and will be the case for most people. As for lad, it's like he can't acknowledge doubts without writing 7000 words on it. 7000 words of the same thing repeated. @Lad—it's time to go do something else and give other people a turn to talk about Villa.

But there is no point with this guy. Go and get Benrahma and Rashica and we are set. Plenty have been critical of the recruitment policy. Particularly last summer, despite the success stories. Suso lost his job as a result. This lad hasn't even kicked a ball for the club. Show some damn patience man. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of players have their better years in the early twenties. This seem to be the case for this guy. I don't know what has stopped his progress. Whether it is a lack of passion for the game. Bad attitude. Off the field issues. What i can tell is i'd take Benrahma. Every day of the week. Now I think I would also rather we get Benrahma than Traore, but apparently Benrahma may not want to come to us. Maybe he's holding out for a top six/seven club or maybe he wants to stay in London. We just don't know. But I hope you've watched the Traore goals video (Twitter) posted recently in this thread, there's a lot of sublime skill in there, regardless that it's only Ligue 1. I don't think that kind of ability disappears forever overnight. Edited September 14, 2020 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, samjp26 said: Why do black footballers constantly get tarnished with this "bad attitude" stick? Not being funny but fans hardly ever know how a player's character is unless it is purposely put out there for us to know (e.g. Ross McCormack). I think something being overlooked here is the fact that our man JT spent plenty of time around the player and will know his character, skillset and talents very well. I'm also sure Traore will have a lot of respect for JT just like all other Chelsea players did. If anything we have far better knowledge with this player than we do usually. In regards to traore only, I have read comments from 2 of his last managers. Both have suggested he has a negative attitude or he perceives that everyone is against him. These were managers who signed him and picked him to play. Some players fit at clubs and some dont, its 2 of his managers suggesting his attitude needs some adjustment that is slightly concerning. However we've had players with a great attitude at our club who have been useless such as hogan and lansbury so its no guarantee if they have a great attitude. As long as he works his socks off, plays well and gets on with his team mates and becomes part of the unit, just like every signing we make should, I cant see it becoming an issue.

Just to show you, a few quotes from VT. „If we weren't involved I would be looking at Everton from a distance and laughing. They have finally got a bit of dosh then throw £7m on Gana. Not a player that anyone who wants to achieve anything should be signing. „ "I honestly feel this is a blessing in disguise." "Think we have got out of jail with this one. " "If you are truly a good player you would still stand out even in a shite side. He hasn't." "7.1 mill? Ta very much" "He was bang average, slightly below even. Not a loss." I've seen this so often on VT, people absolutely shit on players and they are either fantastic or dreadful. I would just wait until he plays for us until you write him completely off, coming off a rather poor season for Lyon. Could probably find something similar for the other ones. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
